and her former boyfriend, raf l raffaele sollecito. knox who lives and attends college in her hometown of seattle stayed up until 2:00 a.m. to hear her fate. her lawyers tell abc news, she's incredibly sad. this morning a stunning reversal in the acquittal of amanda knox as she now will have to face an entirely new trial. more than 18 months since she was freed and after serving four years in a perugia jail both knox and her then-boyfriend rafaelle sollecito are now back to step one. both families' worst nightmares. >> she's shocked. she's very sad. she thought this was the end of a nightmare. but she's also very strong in the sense that she's willing to fight again. >> reporter: the knox family released a statement saying it was painful to receive the news that the italian supreme court decided to send my case back for revision. back in 2011 defense lawyers and experts revealed how evidence was contaminated or poorly handled by forensic teams. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> reporter: and successfully argued their release with knox flying home to seattle and

sollecito to southern italy. but the prosecution hit back, demanding a retrial. arguing to the supreme court that the acquittal was a rare mix of violation of the law and illogicalness, saying the judge who acquitted them had quote lost his way. a difficult day for both families today. it also happens to be sollecito's 29th birthday. no word on whether knox and sollecito have had any contact since the news broke. george? >> okay, thank you, lama. let's get more from amanda knox's attorney ted simon. good morning, ted. thank you for joining us. as we said, you broke the news to amanda this morning. how did she take it? >> well, let's be clear. carlo dalla vedova broke the news to amanda this morning. yes, amanda took it -- it was painful. she's issued a statement it was very painful to receive that difficult news. we were certainly hopeful that the supreme court would simply affirm the correct ruling of the appellate court.

but let's be very clear here. there was never any evidence in this case. and whatever evidence was reviewed was considered absent, nonexistent, unreliable, or simply inaccurate. and that has not changed. >> well then why is the supreme court saying there should be a retrial? >> they're not exactly saying that. they're sending it back for revision and review. she still remains not guilty. nothing has changed. there never was any evidence of her guilt and there never will be any evidence of her guilt. so all this is is sending back for revision and we have to wait for the specific directives from the supreme court as to the basis of their ruling. >> so what is next for amanda? will she return to italy for the trial? >> and let's be clear about that too. both amanda and the family have always abided by all rules and regulations and the rule of law. and in this particular case to the extent it's being sent back for revision, her appearance is not required. so we're many, many, you know -- there's a great deal of time

that will elapse. this case will continue to be fought. she remains strong and vigilant and one thing we can say about amanda and her family they have showed an unquestioned resilience and fortitude and courage in the face of these absolutely unjustified allegations. there simply is no evidence. there never was. there never will be. >> you point out the legal steps. if amanda is, indeed, convicted in this retrial and that is upheld by the italian supreme court, italy could extradite her. would you then petition the united states government to block the extradition? >> yeah, again, let's be clear. all we have is the matter being sent back for revision in the appellate court. and they will review it. there's no reason to believe even upon that review there will be anything other than a finding of not guilt. but if there is something different than that, it will be appealed back to the supreme court of italy. where we hope there also would be a favorable ruling. questions of extradition are

really not within the legal landscape at this point of time. but i can assure you the family as well as amanda, will abide by the rule of law as they always have. >> ted simon, thank you very much. all right, george, "gma" legal analyst dan abrams joins us now picking up a bit on what ted said there and looking at it. what is your take on what happened today? >> well, look, this is a surprising ruling. any time an appellate court comes in and says that a different court got it wrong, it's surprising. what this high court said is that there were some mistakes of law made in the lower court, not necessarily that she's guilty, just that there were errors in law such that the lower court needs to review the case. but that's a big deal. and as a result, there could be issues down the road with regard to extradition. ted is absolutely right. that for now amanda knox will not be going back to italy. but, if the lower court deems that she is guilty, and the appellate court, the high court,

affirms that ruling, i think that the italian officials could then request that she be extradited. and there could be a battle. i think it's unlikely that the u.s. would go along with that. i think they would claim this is effectively double jeopardy. she's being tried again in a way that you wouldn't do in the united states and as a result, they'd likely say no but it's not a necessarily a no. >> and this is going to happen in 2014, but still we're talking years here. there could be an appeal from that appeal. i mean, when is this going to end for her? >> absolutely. this is going to be a many years long process. so for amanda knox, as a practical matter, this is not going to have an impact on her for now. for the next year or two years. the only immediate impact is she might have been or likely would have been entitled to get paid back for false imprisonment for the time she served. now she likely would not be able to get that. but apart from that, this is not going to affect her life until they request extradition. that would mean the high court would have to affirm again. >> we have not heard from amanda knox.

she is releasing her memoir the end of next month. is that a wise move to continue with that given these proceedings in italy? >> look, i think it's important from her perspective to live her life. for her to say, you know what? i'm not guilty. an appellate court found me not guilty. yes, a court is reviewing this case, but i'm moving on. obviously, if there is a conviction again, if the high court affirms that, i don't know that she'd want to be traveling in the eu on a book tour, but apart from that, i don't think it should impact her. >> thank you. >> as that memoir comes out she'll speak to diane sawyer for the first time. that will air april 30th, at 10:00 p.m., right here on abc. now to the supreme court where history will be made when the justices hear arguments this morning on whether gay marriage is a right guaranteed by the constitution. spectators have been lining up outside the court for days and our court expert "nightline" anchor terry moran is there. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. here at the supreme court, it's on. the moment hads arrived.

today, the supreme court hearing the arguments that millions of americans have waited for and struggled for. millions of others have looked toward with anxiety and concern. the six men and three women, the nine justices of the supreme court, hearing those arguments today on that huge issue. what is the meaning of marriage in america today? and does it include our fellow citizens who are gay? outside the supreme court overnight a candlelight vigil for proponents of same-sex marriage. it's a debate that touches countless american families. and in the line outside the court for one of the 60 or so seats inside, a line that began last thursday, that great debate continues. >> yeah, i would hope to get married because i'm a gay man and i'm from california, so i would like to get married in my home state. >> i'm a huge supporter of marriage. i'm a christian and i hold the traditional biblical values. >> all: no more hate!

>> reporter: at issue today, california's proposition 8, defining in that state as only and forever, the union of one man and one woman. paul and his partner jeff decided to take the state to court. >> anyone who has fallen in love out there knows you don't choose who you fall in love with. you just fall in love. there is no choice in the matter. it just happens. >> reporter: kris perry and sandy steer will also be in court today fighting to overturn california's ban on gay marriage. >> right now, sandy and i are really treated like second class citizens in this state. we're expected to contribute and pay taxes, parent, live up to all the other expectations of everybody else, but we're missing this one, key, fundamental right, which is just to be married. >> reporter: public upon has changed astonishingly fast. millions of gave splerns come forward to tell their story to their families. it's happened in the supreme

court, too. supreme court justice john roberts has a cousin who is gave. she came out this week and said she believes her cousin will do the right thing. at the very least, he did find her a ticket inside the courtroom. >> and she got the ticket from the chief justice. thanks very much. let's go to josh elliott with the morning's other top stories. more threats from north korea. >> an ominous one. we're going to begin there. a new warning from north korea overnight. days after releasing the propaganda video, state-run media is reporting that the forces have been ordered to combat-ready status to prepare for targets of u.s. facilities in hawaii and the u.s. mainland. pyongyang stepped up its threats since the u.s. and south korea began joint military drills. overnight a terror attack in afghanistan coinciding with john kerry's visit there. taliban suicide bombers killed at least five police officers in the eastern part of the country. while back in the capital kerry's sit-down with hamid karzai appears to have smoothed tensions which were strained recently when karzai implied that the u.s. was, in fact, colluding with the taliban.

and shocking violence inside a target store in pittsburgh actually ended with a heroic move that saved a girl's life. a man fighting with a group of men outside entered the store and randomly starting stabbing a 16-year-old in line with her family. but nearby customers pounced, wrestling him to the ground, holding him until police got there. the girl is expected to fully recover. and in utah, a stunt made popular on youtube, like the one you see here, has turned deadly for a 22-year-old man. he was trying to swing to the opening of a sandstone arch but left too much slack in the rope and crashed. the stunt, called pendulum swinging, has millions of views online. but please, do not attempt this. also in south florida, look what happened when a driver fell asleep behind the wheel. he crashed, impaling his suv on the guardrail. it actually went entirely through the car and through that back window. thankfully, he was not seriously

hurt. and now, let's meet the man holding that $338 million powerball winning ticket. he is my new best friend, pedro quezada. a new jersey father of five, an immigrant from the dominican republic. he runs a convenience store, lives next to the highway. after taxes, the lump sum will total a cool $150 million and this is wonderful here. he says his first priority will be helping his family. >> that's wonderful. >> terrific. >> confirmed it? has the lottery confirmed it? >> they're in the process of confirming it today. apparently he's saying, i checked it out. i got it. we're going to get the latest in the murder of colorado's chief prison official. the ex-con suspect was killed two days later in a shootout with texas miss.

and investigators are now trying to figure out ties between the killing and white supremacist prison gangs. dan harris is here with more on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. this crime is opening up a window into the ultra violent and expanding world of white supremacist gangs. this as we hear from the victim's family for the first time. >> tom and i were watching tv and our doorbell rang, and my life was forever changed. >> reporter: tom clements' anguished widow speaking at a memorial service on the same day police confirmed the gun used to murder the colorado prison chief at his front door was also found on prime suspect evan ebel days later after a fatal shootout in texas with police. >> we still have a lot of investigation to do to determine, you know, what else happened, what was the motive, who else may have been involved? >> reporter: abc news has learned that investigators suspect ebel also killed a pizza delivery man to use his uniform as a disguise as he approached clements' home. ebel was a member of a white supremacist prison gang called the 211 crew. there are estimated to be tens of thousands of white supremacist gang members in

american prisons, ranging from local outfits like the 211 to national ones like the aryan brotherhood, the subject of this national geographic investigation. >> the reality is is that the public hasn't known all that much about these gangs in the past because they've been largely confined to within the prison walls. but that's changing. >> reporter: they sell drugs and run guns and it's all orchestrated from behind bars by shot callers who communicate by using elaborate codes. >> the 211 crew, for instance, must engage in criminal enter prizes to raise money that is then sent back to the so-called shot callers or the leaders in the prison cells. >> reporter: in fact, in the months before he was killed, tom clements was apparently so worried about the growing power of the 211 crew, he tried to break the gang up, moving members to different institutions. investigators are now looking into whether his murder was in retaliation for that move. george? >> okay, scary stuff, thank you, dan. >> all right, george. now to that big win for tiger woods that put him back on

top. ranked number one in the world. he has spent the last few years rebuilding his life and career, as you know, and abc's rob nelson has tiger's comeback story. >> tiger woods has got win number eight at bay hill. >> reporter: with his decisive win at the arnold palmer invitational, tiger woods wakes up today as the top-ranked golfer in the world for the first time since october 2010. >> some of the shots i struggled with last year are now strengths. >> reporter: and those strikes have now silenced the critics and paved the way for tiger to once again dominate the sport he loves. >> this is major redemption for tiger woods. i think he's looking at everybody today and saying, you know, i'm back. >> reporter: and with redemption comes rewards. nike has released a twitter and facebook post with tiger's picture and his quote, winning takes care of everything. however, the post drew some criticism for glossing over the well-documented infidelities that led to tiger's 2010 divorce.

>> nike will always stick with tiger woods. but other mainstream companies, they haven't come back to tiger. so the key question is, will they? >> reporter: the golfer's new girlfriend, champion skier lindsey vonn tweeted her congratulations electronically exclaiming, number one. monday's victory was a richly full circle moment for the superstar golfer from his astonishing rise -- >> oh, wow! >> reporter: -- to his scandalous fall. >> i am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior. >> reporter: and now a triumphant return to former glory. >> it's been incredible to have all the support and, you know, all the hard work has paid off to get me to this point. >> now, tiger's next challenge comes in two weeks at the masters in augusta. he has won there four times before, but not since 2005. so guys, he has this new ranking. and next month, we'll see how well he can defend it. check out this video, one of the

most popular on youtube. tiger woods and arnold palmer in a fight to defend their trophies, part of a new ad for tiger's pga tour video game. i am scared of arnold palmer. man, look at that. >> go, arnie! go, arnie! he's back. all right, rob. >> very cool video, guys. >> thanks, thanks very much. that is good stuff. >> i love that. >> hey there, sam. >> that's great. >> i want the whole movie -- like, i want whatever that is, the whole movie. i want to show you something. hey, let's walk over to the wall. this is the look at the snow coverage on the map right now. today 50% of the country has snow. this is more than was in january and in a normal year the snow would be kind of kept right there through the mountains. you may get a little bit of snow this time of year right around the canadian border but 50% of the country has snow. and behind this exiting system comes some cold air. pittsburgh at 26 degrees. detroit at 26 as well. these are the windchills and they're really far below normal, 30 degrees in washington, d.c.

bright and early she found her acquittal on murder charges has been overturned by an italian court. that happened earlier this morning in italy. she has already responded calling the ruling painful. we will have much more ahead on amanda's story in our next half hour. >> many more years of legal proceedings coming up. also, the multimillion dollar blackmail plot targeting the founders of the country's most popular jewelry store chain, you see it there, claire's, and the surprising person under arrest. all right. and then it is the daredevil stunt that, frankly, is giving us vertigo just watching them. we're just telling you. 3,000 feet up in the air. we'll hear from the daredevils themselves who have chosen to wow the world in this -- hey. i warned you. i tried to tell you. >> one way to describe that. one way of many. big announcement, cannot wait to share it. very good news. robin going back home of sorts.

it is very, very good news. seriously. >> i'm excited. >> great. we'll be announcing that in just a bit. >> and we're all excited for her. can't wait to share that story. but right now to that extortion trial in florida. police say the founders of the mall jewelry store claire's were the victims of a $3 million extortion scheme and they say the blackmailer is the daughter of their longtime maid. abc's steve osunsami has the story. >> how would you want the transaction to occur? >> reporter: they're newly released undercover tapes hot off the desk of florida investigators accusing a maid's daughter of blackmailing a wealthy family. >> i can't bring $3 million cash anywhere. >> reporter: the family, the police say are the victims in this case, the schaefers who founded those claire's jewelry stores in malls across the country, popular with young girls in america. >> schaefers' holdings were worth more than $239 million. >> reporter: police arrested camille brown, the daughter of a maid the family fired last september 22nd. three days later bonnie schaefer, one of the daughters says she got a threatening

e-mail where brown allegedly claims she had a treasure trove of family letters, written by schaefer's mother, detail their darkest secrets and that she would keep them private for cash. >> you're here for extortion. >> reporter: they immediately called police who set up a sting. >> could we do it in installments? >> that's a possibility. >> reporter: an undercover agent wearing a wire says he met with brown twice at a hotel. >> what do you feel is fair to get the correspondence back? >> i feel fair market value is fair. >> reporter: that's when police say she pulls out a card with a dollar figure and hands it to the agent. >> $3 million? >> $3 million. >> they're not going to agree to $3 million. >> they will. i feel that the family should -- shouldn't even think twice about paying that amount to get this material back. >> reporter: in an e-mail, brown's lawyer says her offer did not constitute extortion and looks forward to her day in

court where she'll prove that the letters were lawfully given to her. they're suing brown and the housekeeper to get the letters back. >> as any family that has to deal with betrayal, but, frankly, i think they should be commended. >> reporter: the trial is in june and brown is fighting 15 years in prison. for "good morning america," steve osunsami, abc news. atlanta. okay, let's get more now from "gma" legal analyst dan abrams. welcome back. dan, well, those tapes seem pretty incriminating. are they enough to prove extortion? >> the prosecutors think they are. to prove extortion you have to have a threat with the intent to overcome someone's free will, right? and the prosecutors here will say, clearly, the family didn't want to pay this money. this was against their free will. they were being threatened. that's the definition of extortion. now, sounds like the defense here is going to be something along the lines that there was a misunderstanding as to exactly what she meant, that she wasn't threatening, et cetera. so every detail in those tapes

is going to become very relevant. but i think this is the kind of case that you might see them reach an agreement before this goes to trial. >> i guess the agreement would be something about turning over the letters once and for all. >> remember, she still has all those letters. so the family has got to be very concerned. it seems there's something in these letters that the family doesn't want out there. there's -- for some reason this is embarrassing or whatever the case may be. so the fact that she still has those letters gives her leverage. you hear her lawyer still talking about the fact that she still has those letters. so that's going to be a very important question when discussing it. >> why hasn't she had to turn them over? >> her lawyer says she obtained them legally. they're suing to get them back. we'll see how that gets resolved. that's a separate case, a civil action. we're talking about the criminal action of extortion. and civil cases tend to take a long time. so it may be a while before she gets back those letters, if at

all. and think that's going to be a crucial point in any plea discussion here where the family may say, we want this to go away and want a deal here. let's just give her whatever probation, you name it but again that's ultimately a decision made by the prosecutors, not the family. >> okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. >> all right, george. now to the latest on the so-called breakup murder trial. defense lawyers for jodi arias calling a domestic abuse expert on monday to testify that arias was victimized by the ex-boyfriend she is accused of brutally murdering. ryan owens has that story for us. >> the whole truth and nothing but the truth. so help you god? >> i do. >> reporter: on monday they met jodi arias' second and final expert witness. she's alice laviolette, a psychotherapist from california who specializes in treating battered women and the men who abuse them. >> what kind of therapy do you do now? >> i do very broad-based therapy. i've worked with companies, high-conflict couples. >> reporter: she will testify the admitted killer was a victim

of domestic violence. and that on june 4, 2008, she had to kill her ex-boyfriend, travis alexander, to protect herself. >> the simple answer is he attacked me and i defended myself. >> reporter: prosecutor juan martinez will likely be quick to point out she never reported any abuse to police, never told her family, never even wrote about it in her journal. he believes she's a calculating killer who made up the abuse and her self-defense claim to try to stay off death row. >> i've worked on about 60 cases forensically. >> reporter: the stakes for this witness could hardly be higher, after what the prosecutor did to ariass' first expert. >> i'm sorry. i don't see it that way. >> right. you wouldn't because you have feelings for the defendant, right? >> i beg your pardon, sir. >> reporter: martinez shredded the credibility of psychologist richard samuels, who diagnosed arias with ptsd even though she lied to him about who killed her ex-boyfriend. >> she met that criteria. >> and you can bang on it all

you want. it's still your judgment, isn't it? >> of course it's my judgment. >> reporter: even jodi arias herself seemed to object to the aggressive questioning. she knows better than anyone if the jury doesn't believe her or her expert witnesses, she could be sentenced to death. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, phoenix. >> and that case keeps going and going. another check, i don't like that headline behind there never-ending cold there, sam. >> i know. we'll work on that and it really is going to be the end of the week. >> can i ask a question? >> please. >> why never-ending. it's very aggressive. >> it's -- >> it's true. it suggests that it's here until june. >> let's start with the pictures. out of knoxville, knoxville, beautiful town nestled into the western mountains of -- or the eastern mountains of tennessee. lovely town, u.t., little white snow coming through. let me just show you how this is the cold air filtering out of

>> it goes careless willie, willie with a thirst for gore, nailed his sister to the door, mother said with humor quaint, careful, willie don't spoil the paint, and then so i saw it. i just couldn't even believe it. i was so, you know, i just picture us at that age, really made me laugh. >> reporter: that laughter, those memories kept alive by the poems, and she's looking to do the same now for other young people in her new book "poems to learn by heart." >> hi, how are you? >> reporter: quietly caroline has been volunteering at new york's public schools at an innovative program called dream yard in the bronx using the arts to give students there a voice. >> this has really changed like who i am as a person. >> reporter: you wouldn't have been standing in front of this camera. >> no. >> reporter: so when you hear that, that it's given them a voice. >> yes. >> reporter: what do you think? >> i hope that other people their age will look at them and see how words and ideas have the power to change your life. >> reporter: for "good morning america," david muir, abc news, new york. >> "poems to learn by heart" goes on sale today, and when we come back, lara talks to kim kardashian.

welcome back. 8:42. i'm sitting here with mom-to-be, the beautiful kim kardashian who

is starring in tyler perry's new film called "temptation" that tells the story of a young married woman who is tempted into betraying her husband, and we have a clip. take a look. >> ava, i don't have to wear fancy dresses or fancy shoes to prove that i'm qualified to do my job. >> yes, you do. >> no, i don't. i have -- >> yeah, you do. >> i have a degree. >> a degree? >> yes. >> a degree on the wall without labels on your back is nothing. that blouse, it's telling it all. >> so does your dress. >> what's wrong with my dress? >> can you even breathe, ava? >> you don't breathe in herve. >> i love it, a quote to live by. kim kardashian. so how did you like getting involved in a movie acting? >> it was really fun. you know, it was really different than, you know, the shooting the reality show that i do. >> you've done a couple tv shows and you've done a little bit of acting, but this was a big deal. tyler perry and vanessa williams.

>> and working with tyler was just amazing. he makes you feel really confident and the role we chose for me, i'm not that harsh as my character ava, but i definitely love to help out and give advice. that was fun to kind of play a mean girl a little bit. >> it's out of your comfort zone though to be snarky. i feel like what we know of you of your sisters, that's not you. >> i'm not the snarky one, but it was fun to play that character then i kind of was able to bring that home. >> i was going to say, did you find that spilling over a little bit into your real life? did you find yourself speaking out a little bit more? >> it didn't last too long. yeah, my sisters kind of put me in check but it was fun just to play a character and, you know, i found that i was definitely comfortable in front of the cameras because i'm so used to it at home when we're filming but it's almost this pressure because there's so many people depending on you for the script and you want to make sure you get everything so right. >> heck, yeah. >> it was fun, though. i loved doing it. i want to do more. >> tyler's films always have some takeaway, a lesson, if you will. is there one that you were able

to bring home and into your relationship with kanye? >> yeah, well, i always say now just for anyone because this film, i love how tyler really flips the script and kind of puts temptation not just on the man, it's more on the woman and all the girls -- you know, especially the main character, judith, the temptation that she has to kind of cheat on her husband, and this whole story -- >> it's about sort of not taking care of your partner, right? >> it's kind of like -- i always say the grass isn't greener on the other side. it's greener where you water it so you just -- it has a whole twist though so you really have to check it out. >> did it make you approach things -- you're busy. did it change the way you behaved? did it teach you about sort of how to make time for each other in a better way? >> i think no matter what relationship you're in, there's just temptation around being in the business, that as long as you really have a strong

relationship and you make that a priority, you don't really have to get into the temptation. >> a big priority is happening right now. >> a big one. >> congratulations. a big one. not really. how are you feeling? >> i feel really good. you know, i feel i have like so much energy. i'm not tired. i haven't had morning sickness so i feel really lucky about that. >> did you just tweet that you bought flats? i have to check your temperature. >> and you know what, they actually hurt my back. like they are not -- i was just saying out there, someone was saying how are you wearing such high heels? i love high heels. i think whatever you feel good in, i know, i see things -- kourtney warned me when you become a mom or become pregnant there will be this whole new group of critics that will criticize you for everything you do. i mean, if i wear one color of clothes, i'm in this kind of mood they think, or if i wear heels, it's, you know, harmful and i think my theory is happy mommy, happy baby, so whatever makes me feel good i want to wear, and i love wearing heels, so i'm trying to the flats but we'll see.

>> sounds like you're in a really good place. >> i am. >> congratulations on the baby, kanye and the new film. everybody, check it out called "temptation" in theaters this friday. >> thank you. >> coming up,
